This is my first publication. I have hired an artist online to create the illustrations. I am now in the final reveiw process, and ready to submit for publication, but I was looking for spme information on how to copyright my book. Can anyone offer me some answers on how I fill out the copyright application for this work?

1) I have more stories for this series, but they are not beling release yet. So, I believe I don't file this as a collection.

2) I am the only owner of this work, correct? I hired a freelance artist online, and she is in Ukraine. I would be the owner of the illustrations and the only owner of this work, correct? Do I need anything speific from her in order to guarantee this?

3) There is a question asking if the publication contains any contributions by anyone else. Does this also include the illustrations?
